less than a year.

 

 

Why do you say that November is the expected date? Besides I never said I expect it by March. June is the most probable scenario for me.

@bolded: None of the devs had anything to show aside from a few rushed tech demos. You cannot call that using the HW specs properly. Even 3rd parties had to show PS3 footage. I seriously doubt Wii U can have a decent launch line-up, that consists of anything other than ports of PS3/360 games and a couple of games from Nintendo. The droughts will be far more severe than what they were for the 3DS if the majority of devs were kept in the dark for this long.  More so when the most important teams were forbidden to have a dev kit.

The two bolded comments are contradictory. Please edit one.

 

As for November, I simply judging it based on how ready Nintendo presented the console as being. Who knows if I shall be right.

 

So you agreed that developers started work on Wii U software before E3, that is all I wanted from you, so I am done here.

No I don't agree that all developers didn't start working before E3, that's ridiculous now. I was talking about the devs that were kept in the dark. Why are you trying to spin something you will never be able to?

And then, releasing next June before E3 starts is less than a year after this year's E3 finished.
